Hey Hive community! Today, matching to Autumn and Halloween day, we want to present you a short story written in the park where we sunbathed with crazy 21 °C in November!
The story starts in a place where there were no bees, trees, air, brains and the sun disappeared. The environment was like every other day, that we want on Halloween - cold, foggy and mystical.
A special soul was born and with three years old, he was already free of the mindset of his own. He was ready to resist the evil of this Earth and bring back the light that was almost vanished.
In that specific Halloween day, he appeared on the graveyard, where ghost from the darkness were the protectors of the evil.
When the boy entered the ancient graveyard, the ghosts hidden in the statues moved their eyes full of ash tears and come to life.
After he passed the graves with soldiers from the past wars, he heard a voice, someone was calling his name. The boy, believing in himself, was not scared at all.
While crossing, the horrifying leader ghost was saying: "We know exactly why you are here - in order to bring back the light, you need to fulfill three quests. I know already that you will fail, as the dead are on our side! I can offer you a nice deal in exchange for your soul if you fail."
The boy accepted his fate and calmly smiled.
After the first quest the flowers will start to bloom, the second will bring the sun and after the third he will be able to return to a place where his soul originated from. With that, all the evil will disappear!
The first quest was a combat. A huge stone warrior with a sword approached and attacked him immediately, trying to kill him. After avoiding the first three hits, he fell down into the dust where rotten leaves were lying on the ground. It seemed almost hopeless situation, when the last fallen leave from a Ginkgo tree nearby, felt the pure energy of the boy. Leave called all the other leaves to gather and protect the boy. The stone worrier got thrown over as the power of the wind smashed him down.
The boy stood up with lots of anger, which initiated his superpowers of psychokinesis (entering into someone else's mind and be able to control his actions) and ordered the sword to cut his head off. The statue collapsed into the dirt. At this moment the flowers were started to bloom and all became very colorful. The rays of light were starting to appear. The first quest was completed, and he's purple psychokinetic eyes turned black again.
The rest of the ghosts could not believe it and we're saying to the boy, that the next task will be even more difficult, and he will never be able to leave the graveyard alive if he fails.
Suddenly, the ground started to move and boy found himself in the labyrinth. The walls were high, and he got separated from the light and the flowers. Everything turned dark again. He saw ghosts flying over him and the ash started to fall from the sky. They were creepy, laughing at him. Now it was time to find a way out. His skill was not helpful as the ghosts were formless.
The boy was only running around in circles. The wind reminded by the smell of the flowers decided to help. It created the air stream to guide the boy out of the labyrinth of horror. Once he came out, the second quest was completed. The wind with its power blow away the fog and the sun came back.
Now only one quest remained - to send the ghost souls back to the underworld and the boy could leave, after saving the Earth, back to the higher planets.
Suddenly everything disappeared, and the boy found himself in a completely different place. There was a girl, and they were playing in the playground. Everything was perfect and time was irrelevant. It felt like this moment was never ending without imperfections. He closed his eyes and thought about the Earth and life there. It was a place where negative emotions and suffering coexist with positive ones, which creates the balance. Suddenly he felt unbalanced and realized that he needs to escape this matrix, playground of perfection, otherwise he'll be forever caught in this graveyard.
At the moment he thought about that, the quest was completed. The boy overcame the most difficult challenge, to fight his own state of mind.
The gates opened again. At that moment, the boy was already aware that his soul is separating from the body. He was already on his travel to the sacred place somewhere in the multiverse.
The body of the boy was left in the grass. A rose was already growing near the corpse. After time passed, the old couple came to the graveyard to remember the death.
They passed the dead body of the boy which saved the world, looked for a moment and peacefully continue their walk.
